WRAITH CAR 29.G.VI.
We wish to run the above car at maximum engine revs without a dynamo. This means that a drive shaft will have to be made from the dynamo coupling to the water pump. Will you please therefore instruct for such a shaft to be made and fitted to the car when next in the fitting shop.
